Eagles bolster secondary in latest mock draft originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Now that the free agency flurry of moves has quieted, one of the moves that raised eyebrows among draftniks is the Vikings’ acquisition of the 23rd overall pick. We take it the next step, and assume Minnesota uses their draft capital to vault up the draft and snag their franchise QB.
1. Bears – Caleb Williams, QB, USC
No Justin Fields, no QB controversy. This is as predictable as a sunrise.
2. Commanders – Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Could a dual-threat QB be what the Commanders need to get their offense cooking? We shall see.
3. TRADE – Vikings (via Patriots) – Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
Minnesota uses both of its first-round picks (11 & 23), plus a 2025 3rd-rounder to pry the third pick from the Patriots and get their man. The Sam Darnold Era will likely be very short, as a place holder for when Maye is ready to start.
4. Cardinals – Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
With the QB run out of the way, the Cardinals get the best player available, which happens to be one they desperately need. Harrison could be the game-breaker Arizona needs to finally unlock Kyler Murray.
5. Chargers – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
The Chargers have dumped Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, so this makes the most sense. 14 TD catches in 13 games should excite Justin Herbert.
6. Giants – Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama
The Giants have made a handful of bold moves over the past week or so, most notably helping the defense up front by trading for edge rusher Brian Burns. Arnold should be a Week 1 starter as part of the Big Blue Rebuild.
7. Titans – Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
The best offensive lineman on the board is selected by the team who may need it most. Tennessee allowed 64 sacks last season, tied for fourth-most in the league. Will Levis has a new best friend.
8. Falcons – Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
Kirk Cousins steps in as the new man in Atlanta and gets a great young receiver to throw to….
